If you want a larf, and actually live in Dawson, you can read this.
I hear the Dawson Neighborhood Plan Team is splitting off from the Dawson Neighborhood Association and the DNPT is going to start a whole nother one of them electronical mailing lists!
Their reasoning is quite convoluted: it is too heavily moderated (after years of not being moderated at all) therefore they want one that is completely moderated. WTF? Doesn’t make any sense.
Or does it?
Plenty of sites have both a moderated and an unmoderated forum. Many also have an ‘announcements’ forum. The technology in both cases will be Yahoo! so they will have the same administrative and user interface.
Wow! It might actually work, Batman!
